Appliance Removal in Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights stayed mostly rural through the 1960s, then filled in fast around Sunrise Mall and Birdcage Walk — 40% of its homes were built in the 1970s. Republic's neighborhood cleanup reaches each zone three times a year, but it caps a pile at 10 cubic yards, will not take hot tubs or construction debris, and wants nothing at the curb more than 48 hours early.
Neighborhood bulk pickup piles are limited to 10 cubic yards (about 10 x 7 x 4 ft); a larger pile carries a minimum $105.40 fee, and material goes out no more than 48 hours before the service day.
The city bulk pickup does not accept hot tubs, construction materials, boats, car parts, camper shells or large tree stumps.
About 34,900 homes. 40% built in the 1970s, 21% in the 1980s; under 4% since 2000.
Whatever Citrus Heights throws at us — refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, ranges, ovens and cooktops and dishwashers — the job runs the same way. You send a photo or a short description, we send back a fixed number, and if you say yes we show up in a tight window and do the lifting. Refrigerant recovered by a certified handler — not dumped in a field.
You will not get a phone estimate that grows once a truck is sitting in your driveway. That is the standard move in this industry, and it is exactly why most people put off calling anyone until the pile gets unbearable.

Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.

Where your Citrus Heights junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Citrus Heights job goes to North Area Recovery Station (NARS) in North Highlands, at a posted gate rate of $89.90 per ton as of 2026-01-01. North Area Recovery Station (NARS) is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Citrus Heights jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Hauling it yourself instead? The North Area Recovery Station (NARS) rules for self-haulers cover hours, payment and every posted fee.
Before that, usable furniture and appliances go to donation, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get separated out. We keep the weight tickets on every load and we will hand them to you if you want to see them — that is not something most haulers offer and it is the fastest way to tell whether someone is actually disposing legally or dumping on a county road.
Why this matters to your price: gate rates across our service area range from $40.64 a ton at Foothill Sanitary Landfill to $107.76 at the most expensive transfer station in Lodi. Routing loads to the right gate is most of the difference between a hauler who can hold a price and one who surprises you at the end.

Citrus Heights questions
How fast can you get to Citrus Heights?
Citrus Heights is about 55 minutes from our Lodi base, so it is inside our normal daily route rather than an out-of-area trip. That is the practical reason we can hold same-day and next-day slots here when a Sacramento-based company quoting the same job is adding an hour of windshield time each way.
Where does the debris from a Citrus Heights job go?
North Area Recovery Station (NARS) in North Highlands, currently $89.90 per ton as of 2026-01-01. It is open seven days, which is why Sunday service is available in this area. Donation-quality items go to a receiving charity first, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste are separated out. We keep the weight ticket on every load.
Why is there a charge for refrigerators?
Refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before the unit can be scrapped — that is federal law, not a made-up fee. $90 covers it. Anyone quoting you $0 on a fridge is either not recovering the refrigerant or making it up elsewhere.
Can you disconnect it?
Yes — water lines, dryer vents, and gas at the existing shutoff valve. We do not cut or cap gas lines; that is a plumber's job and we will say so.
Do you buy working appliances?
No, but if it works we will try to place it with a donation partner instead of scrapping it, which sometimes reduces your price.
What about a water heater?
$200 on its own, which is our job minimum, or $125 added to a bigger haul. We shut off the water and gas at the valves. If it needs to be drained first, tell us and we will bring time for it.
